FRIENDS OF SACRED HEART
We have recently donated money to fund costumes and props for The Lion King and the Music Festival, and contributed to paying for the Panto trip and coaches, and paid for new line markings on the playgrounds. We have had the Mothers Day event on 9th March, and the Easter Chocolate Bingo will take place on Wednesday 28th March at 6pm in school.
BLACKPOOL MUSIC FESTIVAL
Thank you to Mrs Rae for all her hard work, with support from Mrs Boulton and several parents, for the extremely successful performance at the Opera House. We have lots of wonderful feedback regarding how well the children performed, and the audience clearly loved their performance. Congratulations!
THE LION KING!
On behalf of all the staff involved with The Lion King production, we would like to congratulate all the children involved in the fantastic performances. The children have utterly excelled, with superb acting, singing and dancing, particularly with all the songs and dances they learned.
Thank you to all of the adults and staff who have supported the children. Their dedication and commitment is mirrored in the efforts of the children, who have thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful experience. Thank you especially to Abbie Heatley and Emily Urmston, former pupils and current Cardinal Allen students, for their incredible contributions in preparing the children for the performances.

Congratulations to both our Quiz teams for finishing fourth at the Top of the Wyre Quiz, and winning the Fleetwood High School Science Quiz, for the first ever time!
Well done to: Dominic Birch, Matthew Avis, Scarlett Tushingham, Leona Donnelly and Kristen Beswick.

BREAKFAST AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
If you need childcare before or after school, please see the school office, or ring Mrs Porter direct on 07538924508. We have extended opening until 6pm. The cost of the morning session is £2.75 and the after school session is £5.50.
The Breakfast Club is open from 7.30am until school time, and children receive food and drinks at both the breakfast and after school clubs.
ABSENCES AND APPOINTMENTS
In addition to no longer being allowed to authorise holiday absences, we are now expected to see evidence of appointments, if your child requires a medical appointment during school time. Please contact school before 9.30 a.m. if your child is absent, otherwise the absence could be deemed unauthorised.
REMINDERS
Articles of jewellery are not allowed in school, as they could cause injury to the wearer or another person. Earrings have been a constant source of argument and injury in the past. The Local Authority bans them for P.E. and swimming. The Governors of this school have ruled that no jewellery, other than a wrist watch, can be worn in school. Shoes must be worn as standard uniform. Nail varnish is also not to be worn by children.
LOST PROPERTY
Please can all property and clothing belonging to your children have their names written or sewn in.
HAIR
Please use plain hair bands and clips for childrens hair. Fashion bows or headbands are not part of our school uniform. Please can long hair be tied back.
At Sacred Heart, Mohican hairstyles and shaved patterns into hair are not acceptable.
MEDICINES
Please make sure that the medicines permission form has been completed if your child needs prescribed medicine in school. If you need a form (for prescribed medicines only), please contact the school office or see Mrs. Bowden
ADMISSIONS FOR FUTURE YEARS
If you would like to add your child to the admissions list, please see me or Mrs Fairclough. If you have a sibling of a child currently at Sacred Heart, it is still worth registering with us. We also hold registers of interest for 2018 and 2019.
Y3/4 FOOTBALL
Well done to our children competing in their first football event for the school, they competed against the other local schools, and enjoyed the competition!
SCHOOL CAR PARK
Please could all parents refrain from using the school car park at all times. This includes when collecting children from clubs that finish at 4.30pm, as we do not have the space for all cars, and to protect the safety of parents and children.
SCHOOL MEALS
We are continuing to retain our school meal price at £1.65 per meal, which we will continue to keep for the foreseeable future, still the lowest of all the local schools. School requires two weeks notice if you change from school dinner to packed lunch or vice versa.
MOTHERS DAY EVENT
Thank you to everyone for supporting the Mothers Day event and sending in presents and money, and to the Catholic Womens League and Friends of Sacred Heart for wrapping the gifts.
SPORTING COMPETITIONS
We are competing in several upcoming tournaments, including Orienteering, Y3/4 Gymnastics, several football matches, girls football matches, a Hockey competition, the Wyre netball tournament and the Wyre Netball finals at Blackpool sports centre.
